"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Should I change plans?

I hate having to ask this kind of question because I'm sure it has been asked to death. Any way I met a girl yesterday at the Warrior Dash and exchanged numbers. She actually asked for mine which was great. We had good convo and in the process found she works right across the street from me. I mentioned meeting up for lunch on Tuesday and she sounded up for it. But I've since had an idea to do drinks or something after work on Monday instead. We haven't txted or anything since parting ways yesterday afternoon. Do I keep the previous plans and just confirm by Txt or phone call tomorrow or go for the change of plans and try getting a hold of her today? Or is it just too soon in general?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I'd stick to the original plan and organise to meet for drinks while you're having lunch. Keep lunch short, sharp and funny.
Then say: "Hey, I've gotta get back to work early but have you heard of this great bar? I was thinking of hitting it after work sometime this week. I think you should come too so you can buy me that drink you owe me."
She'll say something like: "What? I don't owe you a drink!"

Then you have a laugh and give her a time to meet up and leave straight away.

Sorry about that, it happens. For future reference, it's fine to "upgrade" a date but never set the date sooner than previously set unless it's an absolute necessity. It makes you look desperate.

For example you can go from lunch to drinks later that evening but not the previous evening.

And BTW lunch dates suck.

^^^^. Yes, lunch dates are for friends.
Night dates open up a lot more chances to escalate.
Live and learn, my friend.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Yeah after I suggested it I realized it was a bit lame which is why I wanted to change it. It kinda just popped out when she said she worked right across the street from me. Better luck next time, live and learn and all that jazz.

Thanks for the insight though, it is much appreciated.
